About My Clients
I work with teens and adults who experience stress due to various life circumstances. Sometimes stress, self-doubt, and the experience of living through traumatic events can cloud our true selves and hinder us from feeling, behaving, and reacting in the ways we would like. I take a conversational and collaborative approach in session; I listen and provide space when you need to speak and ask questions to offer perspective or highlight patterns that you may not be aware of.
My Background and Approach
My philosophy is that our health and happiness are closely linked to our relationships with others. We rarely operate in isolation in our day-to-day lives, and the quality of our relationships with family, friends, co-workers, teachers, and more will influence how we feel. We will discuss your relationships with others and how your mental health may be impacting your ability to connect with others in ways that you would like. We may also explore and identify patterns in your past relationships and how they have shaped your reactions to people and how you manage stress and emotions in the present. My clients often report to me that they are better able to regulate their emotions, be less reactive, accept the hardships and challenges in their lives with more ease, establish healthier boundaries, and feel better about themselves after our work together. My therapeutic style is laid-back, conversational, collaborative, and never judgmental
